Biography
Dennis Mendel was born in the United States to a family of Jews, and he was an activist against anti-Semitism. In January 2013 he was contacted by congressman Frank Underwood about US Democratic Party Secretary of State nominee Michael Kern's comments about Israel's "illegal occupation" of West Bank and the Gaza Strip since 1967 in a 1978 article that he edited for the Williams Register while he was in college. Mendel condemned Kern as anti-Semitic due to his derogatory comments, and pro-Israel groups were all opposed to Kern's statements.
